You play as a Realmwalker travelling through portals into the Fae realms. Explore different environments, uncover ruins and dungeons, solve puzzles, and take on hostile creatures and bosses.
Survival means gathering resources, preparing food and shelter, and crafting tools, weapons, clothing, and equipment. The materials you choose can affect the properties of what you make.
Build and furnish a homestead, then use Realm Cards at portals to shape realms and unlock further challenges. Play solo or cooperatively, and use tools such as an umbrella and climbing picks to move through the landscape.
